Heated portable battery powered sports chair

ABSTRACT

The technical disclosures of the invention are as follows: The chair is heated, with the heating element being powered by a battery, which is attached to the heating element through a power cord. The chair is mobile and portable for two reasons: 1. Because it is powered by a battery, and 2. Because it is mounted on wheels, easily moved from location to, location. The chair is equipped with an on/off switch, which enables the user to turn the battery power on and off to preserve the battery. The on/off switch, is located and mounted on the plastic case which protects the battery from weather. This plastic case is then protected and harbored in a wooden box, mounted to the metal chair frame. The chair is portable and heated, and like no other invention to date, it can be used miles from any external power source.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The Heated Portable Battery Powered Sports Chair was conceived by mesome 12 months ago. After searching both the United States PatentRecords and the World Wide Web, I saw there was no product like the oneI created, and then I set out to build a working prototype that wasuseful and thus demonstrate that the product would be one of a kind andmarketable.

On many cold nights across this great country, children head out tofields, parks and grassland to practice and play sports. Parents ofthese youngsters take their place along the sidelines to watch thesechildren practice, often becoming colder that the active children theyobserve. Also, many hunters, fisherman and campers endure frigidtemperatures in pursuing their hobbies and passions. Sitting still in acold environment is uncomfortable at best, and can be potentiallydangerous.

It was on a cold February night in 2006 that I realized there was abetter way to fight the cold I had to endure many nights a week at mydaughter's soccer practices and games.

-   -   “A HEATED SPORTS CHAIR!”

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The Heated Portable Battery Powered Sports Chair (AKA “The Heat Seat”)is made up of eight essential parts, which brought together solve aproblem that many families are faced with each fall and winter. Theadvantages to the Heated Portable Battery Powered Sports Chair (”) aremany, and include:

1. Portable: It can be taken anywhere, as it rolls easily on wheelslarge enough to manage uneven terrain, trails and large distances.

2. Battery Powered: No plugs or power receptacles are necessary. “TheHeat Seat” can be taken miles from the nearest civilization and providewarmth and satisfaction.

3. Heated: Go to any field, park or school on a winter night and see thechildren of Anytown USA playing Soccer, Football, Baseball or other teamsports. Then watch the parents, freezing and shaking on the sidelines.Never again with “The Heat Seat”. They sit in warm comfort as thosearound them look on with jealousy and envy (or ask where the bought itand how much it was!).

Think of it: Sitting in a Heated Portable Battery Powered Sports Chair,while those around me froze in blankets, or stood in front of propaneheaters, or shivered in heavy coats. Sitting in a Heated PortableBattery Powered Sports Chair, with no cords to plug in, movable at anytime to anywhere on the field, in the woods, etc. The portable propaneheaters used by others were heavy, and the flow of warm air was narrowand easily diffused by a gust of wind. The Heated Portable BatteryPowered Sports Chair would be unique; a seat warmed by battery,completely portable, keeping the individual warm and cozy on the coolestnights.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The Heated Portable Battery Powered Sports Chair was made by taking amesh chair frame, than attaching two wheels to the bottom of the chairto make it portable and mobile.

The chair frame was then further modified to include a fortified woodencompartment below the seating area, to be used as a compartment for thebattery element that provides power to the chair.

A standard automobile battery was then placed inside a flip top plasticcarrying case, and the two are secured and configured to keep the powerelement steady and in place, limiting it's movement within the case. Thecase was fabricated to such an extent as to keep the battery powercomponent from moving within the space.

At this point, electrical connectors were connected to the standardautomobile battery, then connected to the flip top plastic carrying casewhich houses the battery. The connectors run from the standardautomobile battery to two (2) separate receptacles located on the frontof the plastic case:

1. The on/off switch

2. The car battery adapter, which leads to the heating element

The flip top plastic carrying case is then placed inside the woodencompartment, which was fabricated to fit the plastic case, thus limitingit's movement.

The heating element was then attached to the mesh chair frame using thinnylon cords with hooks at each end that wrap around the mesh chairframe.

1. My claim is that this is the only sports chair that is self heatedand portable, so that a user can travel away and separate from any powersources and still enjoy a warm, heated seat. Other chairs have beeninvented, as have other heating pads, as have other portable powersupplies, but this invention ties all the elements together in a way noother product or invention has before. The elements are that the chairis constructed to be mobile and heated in a single unit. We claim thatall the factors present: a chair, heat, and portability have never beenamalgamated, combined and/or joined before. I am the first to do so andshould be granted intellectual property protection under a United StatesPatent.
